Saw a pretty darn good Beatles tribute band in Branson, MO last Friday.
Liverpool Legends. The band was formed by the sister of George Harrison.

All live music, no tape. The vocals were extremely close to actual Beatles. Music was awesome.

It was enjoyable, but sad too. As good as they were, they still weren't the Beatles.

I generally avoid tribute bands, Elvis impersonators...etc. If I can't see the original, I'm not interested.

That said, this was a very enjoyable show.

Are there any tribute bands you guys like, or maybe even beatles bands you might like?

I saw a Beatles one on PBS a couple of months ago and they were amazing. Even changed costumes throughout to closely resemble them through their career.

These guys did the same. When doing some of Early Beatle songs, they dressed in the suits, boots.
Then they came out dressed like the Sgt Pepper era, and played songs from that item. (complete with mustaches, and facial hair)

Then another costume change, to their later stylings.

They were quite good.

I think the fabfour was who I saw, but here's a youtube video that compares the different knock offs.

I was lucky enough to be around when Beatles were still a group. Some of the tribute bands are good, but nothing beats the originals.

At least they aren't as annoying and 45 million Elvis impersonators.

Australian Pink Floyd does a really good job. David Gilmore hired them to play his wedding, they were so good.
